FOOD: do you want to know?

I don't know if I want to see this because I LOVE FOOD already. I mean I REALLY REALLY LOVE food. I like preparing, I like cooking, and I LOVE EATING. This is probably a good movie for those who eat very unhealthy, but when it hits close to home with my steaks, chicken, fruits and veges, and whatnot, you're on pins and needles my friend.. pins and needles.

The WOD was good. started with the SDHP, which is what I wanted. 2 poods was friggin heavy as always. felt it in my lower back since there's new muscle fibers there [see: soreness]. i feel a gain in my energy though, and thats really good. I really want to do workouts in a "box" though, and get a crazy sweat on. This windy weather is nice, but just too nice.

NIN "Closer" video given a closer look

In the early 90's, I only had a small dose of NIN, and a small does of Nine Inch Nails was more than enough for a 4th-6th grader to want to run back to church and ask the priest for forgiveness. Now that Im old enough to understand human nature, adult rated ideas, and artistic value, my meetings with the priest have become unnecessary (although I should do confession..). Anyways, the original uncensored version of Nine Inch Nails' Closer is a bit weird to the normal mind, but I watched it numerous times now and could almost feel like it belongs in an art museum.

The song is definitely awesome, not because of all the disgusting remarks, but because of they way everything flows together; the art, the sounds, the words, the emotions. Everything compliments eachother and builds a classic.

The "Making.." video is a bit long, but its interesting how an idea becomes a masterpiece. All this thought and work into one video is amazing.. and they have to try and make this type of impact EVERYTIME! tough.

First, the video.

Glass Sink Makes My Top 3

I don't have a list of favorite sinks, or a journal I write in everytime I see a cool sink. ( "Dear Diary, I just walked out of Home Depot and saw one of the coolest sinks! It made my day. Now I want to buy a cute puppy and feed it cute little flowers so it poops up rainbows and smiley faces!" ) ... yeah, no.

But this sink is pretty rad.

I could make a mess on this thing and just squeegee it all to the bottom. Just the transition from flat normal glass to the flowing round-shaped glass is just awesome.

This is intense just watching. Crossfit!

Movie comes out April 22nd.



Intense or what?! maaayyyunnn. can't wait!

Zack Galifianakis on the big screen!

I went to the theater last night to watch Fast and Furious and saw this awesome trailer for the movie The Hangover. When I saw Zack pop up on screen, I knew from the start this movie is going to be a hit. I've been a huge fan since his early stand up days. He had a show that didn't last long on Comedy Central, then did (still does every now and then) some cameo's in Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, which is a great show in my opinion, went on a comedy tour entitled The Comedians of Comedy, had some digital shorts on FunnyorDie.com, leading him to another tour, Be Funny or Die with Will Farrell.

This guy is hilarious. He was here at Bumbershoot in '08 but I missed the show because I didn't get my ticket early enough. He'll be showing up here in the northwest again at Sasquatch, which I will be missing unfortunately. Hopefully he shows to Bumbershoot again and this time I won't miss him. /tear

I expected more colors for this spring. I kind of like the red/white but being the picky person I am [and cheap person], I'll pass. I guess I'll keep looking for my royal blues and others. Where'd you get yours, Ryan?!
